Surprise!

Happy holidays! To celebrate the upcoming new year and all the achievements that are sure to occur, here is an excerpt from a song called “The Unmanned Flying Desk Set”, which is sung by both Neil and Todd; however, this particular section is sung by Todd. This snippet was recorded, played and sung by one of our members, Oriana, the lead composer and lyricist of the musical.

We thought it was high time we finally posted some content, and what better time to choose than the end of a year? Although this year has been rough for the world, we’ve been grateful for it, as it gave us the opportunity to begin creating this concept, as well as interacting with all of you. If it hadn’t been for this project, some of us may never have met or become friends: which is a foreign concept now that we’re so close.

We hope you enjoy this. We’ve been so excited to share with you our songs and scenes for the past few months, and although we’ve been dropping hints and such, we’ve never had the chance to properly share with you our content. It’s something we’re really proud of!

Happy holidays and Happy New Year!

With love,

Jade, Phoenix, Sarah and Oriana

Hello all!

Inspired by this brilliant and insightful post by @disagreeingpoets, we decided to speak up about our intentions of the Dead Poets Society Musical and how we intend to handle the issues raised in the post.

We, at the DPSM team, believe in equal rights for everyone and we wholeheartedly acknowledge the outdated and problematic values and ideas in the film. In our musical, we are doing our best to rewrite and rectify the mistakes of the movie.

In no way would we ever want to offend or upset any marginalised communities or minorities; in fact, we want to do the opposite, by emphatically discussing and bringing awareness to the issues found in the film, such as the racism, cultural appropriation, sexist treatment of women as a commodity and the trivialisation of sexual assault.

If you have any questions or concerns on our revisions of these issues, feel free to comment or message us. We are always open to your constructive criticism and queries; we won't shut your concerns away because this project is for the fans and it always will be.

Thanks so much for reading and supporting us.

Love always,

Jade, Phoenix, Sarah and Oriana

The title is “Welcome to Hell-ton”

It’s Track 2

It’s the first song we finished writing

It takes place in Neil and Todd’s dorm room and introduces the audience (and Todd) to the boys

The chorus is modelled around “travesty, horror, decadence, excrement”

The snippet will be a certain boy’s verse...
